THE SALE OF LIQUOR.

1t is to be hoped that bill to regulate
the sale of spirituous and malt liquors,
medicated bitters, ETC., similar to the
high license bill introduced by Senator
Simkins, will pass both houses of the
present Legislature and become q
law. The meritorious features of
the bill were stricken out by
amendments in the committee room,
and in mutilated and worth
less condition it was reported back to the
Senate with the recommendation "that it
do pass"
The evident purpose of the bill was not
one of revenue alone, but TO Curtail the
power of the dram shops for evil, and
lessen by the most practical method
the intemperance, pauperism and
crime that necessarily results from
multiplicity of disIeputable re-
sorts where cheap liquors are dis
pensed to the vicious of all classes by If,
responsible dealers. And it is to be re-
GREETED that the committee saw tit to re
port it back shorn of everything that
made the bill worthy of consideration.
If the measure could be at all con-
sidered il the light of experimental legis-
lation, there would be shadow of excuse
for burying it beneath j load of amend
ments. But since its practical results fol
good have been demonstrated in Other
states and, since the record of every state
shows that as the licenses have been in
creased the number of dram-shops nave
been diminished, it is unfortunate that s
high license bill should receive its death
stab in the committee room, and to many
the majority report makes strange read
ing indeed.

SENATORLAL ELECTIONS.

Representative VOORHEES, of Andrews
county writes THE GAZETTE, calling at
teution to the fact that what this paper
alluded to as a bill introduced by him
was resolution as follows;
Whereas, the time has come in the history of
American politics that there seems necessity
for change in the manner of clecting United
States Senator; be it
Resolved, That our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress be memorialized to IA
vor an am endment to the United States consti
tuition, providing for the election of | nited
States Senators by the people at the ballot bon.
>. That copy of these resolutions be sent
to each of our Senators and Representatives in
Congress.
THE GAZETTE was misled by the word
ing of the telegram announcing the &C
ton of Mr.. Voorhees, in the prem
ises. The gentleman assures US that
ne is not weary from defeat,
as ne was of the Reagan phalanx on every
ballot, but believes the election Of United
States Senators by the people would be
more satisfactory and less expensive. IN
his he has the approval of growing
number of people, who will some day De
sufficiently numerous to enforce their
wishes
